Following the divisive 'Release the Panic', Nashville alt-metal outfit Red return to longtime producer Rob Graves for their grand 5th LP 'Of Beauty and Rage'. Not only are the band's trademark orchestral arrangements restored, but the quartet get rather ambitious over the album's bloated 60 minute duration. Not exactly immediate, this dark & brooding record is a real grower that includes some genuinely heavy - & menacing - moments. Diversity is high, sounding like Muse one moment & a doom metal act the next. One thing's for certain; longtime fans will be pleased. Recommended Tracks: Darkest Part, Falling Sky, Shadow and Soul & Gravity Lies.

I never got the Muse comparisons on this. To me it's just another Red album.

TD, if I'd heard 'Shadow & Soul' band unknown, I would have almost said it was Muse... Especially before the chorus.

ehh, I mean the outro of that song maybe but other than that I'm just getting Red



Besides, Shadow and Soul isn't even the best song on this.

Never said it was the best song here, just the one which sounds a lot like Muse. His vocals at the start sound like Matt a lot. I personally have it as 3rd best behind 'Darkest Part' & 'Falling Sky'

Probably that grimy as fuck grunge riff halfway through the song, and then again to close it out.

Gravity Lies I feel like is the song that is most reminiscent to I&I.

The chorus in that song feels out of place IMO

Can't wait for them to make more songs like Imposter and Shadow & Soul. Loved those two!

I think it's one of the best songs on the album. Love the big ass feel the song has. Those two songs are the reason my rating is that high, the rest of the songs are pretty shitty compared to those two for me...
